RFE: Resources for Economists on the Internet

AmosWorld

This site, run by Orley Amos at Oklahoma State, lists a large number
of economically oriented web sites with a focus on educational
materials for undergrads. One useful feature is the GLOSS*arama
where you can search for over 1,100 economic terms and definitions
with keywords of your choice. The site tries to be jargon-free, so
students should find it friendly. Other features include the
ECONOMIC Testing System (a stress-free way for students to test
their economic knowledge); the AmosWorld Reading Room, which is a
short-cut to free on-line economic instructional books available in
AmosWorld; CLASS*portal, which provides access to instructional
material for both introductory macroeconomics and microeconomics;
ACRO*phobia, a database of descriptions of more than 200
economics-related acronyms; and STAT*opia, a database of over 150
official economics statistics, measurements, and numbers. The
COURSE*land eTutor is a subscription service that provides "35
complete lessons on the essential topics covered in introductory
microeconomic and introductory macroeconomic courses" (such as demand,
production possibilities, money creation, and oligopoly), explanations
of over 800 economics topics (many with interactive graphics), a
glossary of over 1,800 economic terms and concepts, practice tests,
summary points, study questions, and topic outlines. Subscriptions
forCOURSE*land can be obtained on a monthly, semester, or yearly
basis.
